Throughout this hands-on workshop, you'll try firsthand to leverage GitHub Copilot and with CI/CD to seamlessly embed AI-driven functionality into your development process. You'll explore practical strategies for enhancing your apps with intelligent automation, predictive capabilities, and improved user interactions. Brian will demonstrate how to select the right AI models and quickly get started using GitHub Models. You’ll see how to design agentic workflows that automate complex tasks and decision-making processes.

Additionally, the workshop covers critical engineering topics such as DevOps best practices and shifting left with GitHub Advanced Security. You’ll see how to deploy to Microsoft Azure and use it’s AI hosting features managed via Azure AI Foundry or “self-host” on your own workstation.

Designed for developers eager to incorporate AI but unsure where to start, this workshop will provide clarity, inspiration, and actionable techniques to bring AI-driven innovation directly into your software projects. Join us to witness live examples, explore best practices, and gain the confidence you need to engineer powerful and secure AI solutions with GitHub and Azure.
